We're just starting out for the mad rush of travel back home for the holidays. Whether you are stuck in the airport for what seems like days-on-end -- or just need a little break from the loved-ones, we've got you covered. We're going to look for some great apps to help you survive the trip home and back.

This isn't going to be a wrap-up of holiday titles. No, we're looking for those apps that can provide both hours and hours a entertainment while stuck in the airport -- and just a few minutes of fun while you avoid try to avoid the visiting uncle quacks when he walks.

Let's start with the games! Seems like a hundred killer games came out in the past two weeks. Many of them really good. It's a shame but some of them are going to get lost in the rush. We'll try to point out some of them in the coming months. But here are a few of our favorite ones that haven't really seen much publicity.
